New England Patriots

The Patriots won the night they stopped Singleton from sliding. Grade: B-.

Future A

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nicholas Singleton tumbling to the Patriots in the 217th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The cost of the Weaver reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In pick No. 14 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 12
Walter Nolen at slot 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 16
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 45th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 78
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 129
A wild overpay on Ozzy Trapilo in No. 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 101
A tidy little value on Ajani Cornelius in pick 105, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.10 · Pick 111 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 81
Deontae Lawson in the 111th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.21 · Pick 122 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 21 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
R4.26 · Pick 127 · Savion Williams · WR · rank 112
Nice patience on Savion Williams, who had no business lasting to slot 127. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
Danny Stutsman in pick 143 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 99
A running back of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Le'Veon Moss · RB · rank 147
You do not let a running back like Le'Veon Moss reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.16 · Pick 232 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 339
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. Weaver this early at the 232nd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Marcus Dumervil · OT · rank 318
They reached into another round for Marcus Dumervil, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
